MAN vs SHARK
DISCLAIMER: Nothing is mine.
Aquaman sat upon his throne bored out of his skull. There weren't even citizens' complaints to listen to with concern. And the guards were no fun. He withdrew the Atlantean version of a cell phone and pulled up the message icon.
'I'm excited for the Adrian vs shark race.' Mera had been all atwitter about the event. He had read about it on his The Clam account. He sent the message.
His phone burbled, signifying a message. He pressed the button, causing the crystalline letters to hover just above the screen. 'Me too. It reminds me of Me vs Superman.' His land dweller friend Batman replied.
He smiled at the reply. Although Batman was surly, brutally honest, and often negative his work ethic was one to be admired. 'You think of yourself as Adrian? A human, training super hard, hyper prepared, fighting someone with genetic gifts?' He pressed send, pinning a nosy guard with a hard glare.
'No. I think of myself as the shark. As I'm a dangerous hunter and Superman is Adrian an idiot that's going to die.'
He gawped at the message. Wow. He'd heard about their mini feud on the group chat, but he hadn't suspected it was true. 'How are things between you and Supes?'
He glanced up when he heard voices. A guard escorted a noblewoman into the throne room. His phone burbled. He glanced down, surprised at its contents. 'A little better actually.' Really? It sure didn't sound like they were doing better. He put his phone aside. He was definitely not going to open that can of worms.
FIN
AN: Can you tell I love Batman?
